re: Kris Boyd and Holton Hill commit to Texas - OrangeBlood on 1/30/15 at 11:33 amSupposedly driving to the school that they are announcing for to announce in person...those crazy kids. Both College Station and Austin are pretty easily driven to from Houston/Gilmer to announce at 1:30pm central. Which, ironically, is when College Football Live on ESPNU airs.
When did recruit...

re: Is Kyler Murray solid to A&M? Trending Texas? - OrangeBlood on 1/28/15 at 1:07 pmI could of course end up being totally wrong but most speculation is that McGuire won't take the job (hell, may have already told Strong he won't take it) because his son has 2 more years to play at Cedar Hill and he wants to coach him. I'd be surprised if he took it. ...

re: Austin Bachelor Party - OrangeBlood on 1/8/15 at 9:19 am[quote]Used to be a quick in and out. Last time I went it was a 2 hour wait. He's developed a following.

Yeah, his place seems to be a bit hit or miss on the line. Blue Ox BBQ on E Riverside is close to him and a great alternative as well. Too many pretty good places to stand in line ...

Eat some BBQ while you're here
You can go the Franklin route if you want to stand in line for a couple hours but I would recommend La Barbecue (Cesar Chavez and I35), John Mueller's Meat Company (E 6th and Perdenales), Mickelthwaite (forgot) as pretty much just as go...

if you're talking about Ronald Jones, supposedly Texas sent him a bunch of mail addressed to "Roland." Doesn't help although I don't know if he would have picked Texas anyway....

re: LSU and Texas Agree to Home-and-Home - OrangeBlood on 10/16/14 at 2:55 pm[quote]Seems like yall are boosting that schedule very well.[/quote]
I don't think it's coincidence that we are, given our conference schedule, which has good teams on it (e.g., Baylor, TCU, KState) but not matchups that really excite anyone. Our biggest and best game of the year (provided Mack ...

re: LSU and Texas Agree to Home-and-Home - OrangeBlood on 10/16/14 at 1:57 pm[quote]Based on our schedule we should be able to fit Texas in 2016. I'm not sure of what their current schedule issues are though[/quote]
Texas plays ND and at Cal in 2016 (and UTEP for what that's worth). Tough to squeeze in LSU with a 9 game conference schedule too - I for one would drop any ...

re: Sources say "only a matter of time" before Michigan fires AD - OrangeBlood on 9/23/14 at 10:46 am[quote]his type of problem is prevalent throughout College Athletics at this point.

As I understand it (from what I'm reading) they're officially suspended one game but high likelihood of them never playing again. The one game suspension might be a courtesy to provide time to find a landing spot. But I could be ...

re: Tesla: All our patents are belong to you - OrangeBlood on 6/13/14 at 10:33 am[quote]I read the actual claim. As a former photographer, I honestly find nothing novel in it.

Interesting - then you've put more thought into it than everyone else writing about it which is good.
Companies get patents all the time that they probably have some doubt about their va...

re: Tesla: All our patents are belong to you - OrangeBlood on 6/13/14 at 10:15 am[quote]That's because the cost of enforcing patents is often higher than what can be recovered for the infringement.[/quote]
True.

True - although impeachable isn't the right word. Patents aren't witnesses...but I understand ...

re: Tesla: All our patents are belong to you - OrangeBlood on 6/12/14 at 10:38 pm[quote]I would likely be pissed if I was an invester in Tesla. I mean, why give it away? License the frick out of the technology, THEN encourage innovation.

As a patent attorney, this is the better answer IMO - for honest companies that want to legally use Tesla's IP, license it to them,...

re: Is Texas hosting next week? - OrangeBlood on 6/2/14 at 11:15 pm[quote]Would Coog High try to go to Corpus or someplace else in effort to get away from Austin?[/quote]
Honestly I don't know how it works exactly so don't know if they could. Houston's best chance for having a 50-50 fan split is at their home park. Any other field in the state and it's going t...
